Processing of Syntactic Representation and Cross-Linguistic Syntactic Priming of Caused-Motion Constructions by Unbalanced Thai-English Bilinguals
Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the processing of syntactic representation and examine the cross-linguistic syntactic priming of caused-motion constructions by unbalanced Thai-English bilinguals. This study included 38 unbalanced Thai-English bilinguals (10 males and 28 females) whose CEFR levels were at A1-B1 and 20.4 years of average age. In the first experiment, unbalanced Thai-English bilinguals’ processing had similar pattern in the group of path and transitive main verb by using English transitive construction without motion event, while in the group of intransitive main verb, they processed caused-motion events by using English intransitive construction without motion event. In the second experiment, unbalanced Thai-English bilinguals showed high tendency in using Thai caused-motion construction for path and transitive group, while in the group of intransitive main verb, unbalanced Thai-English bilinguals used intransitive construction similarly to that of the first experiment. In the third experiment, unbalanced Thai-English bilinguals were likely to choose English caused-motion sentences correctly. This suggested that caused-motion syntactic primes by motion pictures had effects cross-linguistically.
